In the vast majority of cases, low blood pressure at this time is nothing to worry about. Some research suggests that it may lead to stillbirth and low birth weight, but this correlation is difficult to establish because there are so many other variables and risk factors involved during pregnancy. We know a lot less about the effects of low blood pressure on babies than the effects of high pressure. If you experience any of these, you should mention them to your doctor. Low blood pressure has a variety of symptoms. And if it’s very low, it may cause falls, or shock, in which your brain and other vital organs don’t get enough blood to work properly. It may be the result of an ectopic pregnancy, in which a fertilised egg becomes implanted outside your uterus.
Occasionally, low blood pressure may be indicative of some other problem. Low blood pressure during pregnancy happens because your body secretes hormones, and progesterone in particular, which help to relax the walls of your blood vessels and increase the flow of blood to you and your baby. Your doctor will monitor your blood pressure throughout the pregnancy. This is not usually a problem, doesn’t normally require medication, and will start returning to its previous level during the third trimester. Many women experience low blood pressure, defined as below 90/60, while they’re expecting a baby.
